As a co-founder of the Dallas Holocaust Museum, Max's efforts inspired countless individuals and educated many about the horrors of the Holocaust. His experiences fueled a lifetime of humanitarian work, making a significant impact on the lives he touched.
To honor his legacy, the dedication of street toppers ensures that Max Glauben’s memory and contributions will live on. His work serves as a reminder of the importance of educating future generations about the past.
